About the company
Company website•Government Administration
Offering big city amenities along with small town hospitality, Iowa City has it all. Nestled in the heart of the Midwest in east central Iowa, in Johnson County, it has long served as a locus for culture, education, variety and fun. A stroll through the downtown pedestrian plaza proves it.

Here you will find a real sense of community and friendly commerce. Downtown you might come across college students in a game of chess on the plaza's life-size game board. On-lookers sit on the plaza's limestone benches talking politics, philosophy or Big Ten sports while children climb a nearby jungle gym. A block away, others might be taking a class at the Senior Center or lounging in outdoor cafés, savoring the fine cuisine of one of the city's numerous restaurants. Across the way, you'll likely hear a local band playing a catchy mix of jazz and blues on the area's outdoor mini stage. The state's historic Old Capitol Building looms to the west. A cherished landmark of the University of Iowa campus, it embodies the city's prominence, grace and heritage.
Whether a first-time visitor or a native returning home, you will discover this place is one where tradition comfortably exists alongside change.
The City of Iowa City values diversity and does not discriminate in hiring or employment on the basis of race, color, veteran’s status, sex, disability, sexual orientation (including gender identity) or any protected status covered under local, state or federal law. All are encouraged to apply.
